ScuzzBlog: Diaries December 2017 Entry 29th December 2017: Post: 3 Sharp PC-7221 - Lunchbox Keep banging my foot on this computer so thought it was about time I put it away. Here are some pictures for your perusal. The Sharp PC-7000 series of computers introduced in 1985 is one of the first lightweight portable computers and was given the name lunchbox. It boasts the worlds first backlit LCD display. Runs an 8086 PC at 7.37 using MS-DOS 2.11. Has a 5.25 350K floppy Nice looking beast I have to say and the screen is wonderful. There is an error on boot which having reviewed is likely due to a dead battery. Floppy goes round and makes all the right beeps. Already in store. See what else I can kick now.... I see an old Mac over there. This was when I tried kicking the thing It really isn't worth spending the time fixing the battery just to see a DOS prompt. I will let the poor thing rest in the dark. Time for tea or is it lunch.. Dunno That's me for today. Shiny C64 tomorrow Funny this cus I actually broke my toe kicking that SX-64 box when it first arrived Travelled all the way to Cardiff to pick up that particular brute. Across the bridge.
